The story behind the bottle.
Mojave Ghost Absolu, launched by Byredo in 2024 and crafted by perfumer Jérôme Epinette, is an enigmatic Floral Woody Musk fragrance that embodies the mystique of the Mojave Desert. The composition opens with sapodilla and ambrette, bringing a fruity and musky warmth before delving into the heart notes of magnolia and violet. These floral elements are enveloped by a powdery and woody base of sandalwood, cedarwood, and amber, creating an atmospheric blend that feels both earthy and ethereal.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points. The fruity top notes are fleeting but set the stage for the deeper floral and woody accords that unfold over time. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than in a wide sillage, making it perfect for intimate settings.
